How far can advertising be allowed to go?
Published: 05 August, 2009, 14:00
Promotion is the main driving force behind the market economy. Last year alone spending on advertising reached $480 billion, but is it acceptable to use national symbols in advertising?

John Tylee from the Campaign magazine in London, Alla Glinchikova from the Moscow-based Institute of Globalization and Social Movements, and Aleksey Sukhenko from the Council of the Russian Marketing Expert Guild shared their views with RT.
